It’s coded into the software and predetermined. Once the block reward is given, those coins can be spent by whoever got them however they want and are part of the total.
Anyone can buy some, and yes, if you somehow find some and transfer it to your wallet, you now own it.

To put it as simply as possible, tons of computers all over the world are all running calculations attempting to guess the next “block” that contains a reward plus transaction fees. This happens roughly every 10. The more hashing power (energy) you put into the network, the better your chances at being the one that guesses the next block. Every 4 years, that reward is halved until there are no bitcoin left.

Not true! Anyone can use bitcoin. It’s easier than you think and you don’t need to understand how or why it works to use it.

Assuming this is about porn on nostr, yes, it’s everywhere. Some is tasteful, tagged nsfw, and posted by the person themselves, but most stolen and reposted by automated spam accounts.
Other than efforts by Rabble and a few paid relays that filter it out, very little work has been done whatsoever on either the client or relay level to moderate, filter, or label this for those that want to.
